CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel wrestling team will finish 2016 by hosting Northern Illinois on Saturday at 12 p.m. at McAlister Field House.
The Bulldogs (1-0) will wrestle in just their second dual of the season after competing in four tournaments thus far. The Citadel defeated Coker College 40-3 on Nov. 9 for its lone dual this year.
The Huskies (2-2) are coming off a 22-9 loss to Old Dominion on Nov. 29.
The Citadel last competed on Dec. 4 at the Journeymen Tussle, where Aaron Walker (11-4) took first place in his pool at 157 pounds.
Walker dropped his first match against Pennsylvania's Maaziah Bethea by a close 8-7 decision, but rebounded with two straight victories to claim his pool. He won by forfeit over NC State's Max Roshkopf before defeating Rutgers' John Van Brill in a 12-10 sudden victory. Walker reached 100 career victories after the two wins.
The Bulldogs also added three third place finishes in Andrew Szalwinski, Douglas Gudenburr and Sawyer Root.
Szalwinski (6-9) dropped his first two matches of the tournament, but responded with two straight victories to grab third place at 133 pounds. In a Bulldog battle, Szalwinski faced teammate Andrew Clayton (1-8) in the third round. Szalwinski came away with a close 2-0 decision over Clayton. He then defeated Pennsylvania's Tristan Devincenzo by a 9-4 decision to close out his tournament.
Gudenburr (13-6) began his day with a 5-2 decision over Pennsylvania's Patrick Munn before dropping his second round match at 141 pounds. Gudenburr bounced back with a 16-0 technical fall over Charles Banaszak in just 2:57. He fell in his final round match to Campbell's Joshua Heil to finish 2-2 at the tournament.
After starting with a first round bye, Root (9-8) defeated Rutgers' Matt Correnti at 197 pounds by a 6-1 decision. Root fell in round three, but answered with a 4-3 decision over Hofstra's Naze Haddad to place third.
